If you want to know why a Democratic Senator and Representative in Minnesota were shot... It might have something to do with the fact that their deaths would end the Democratic majorities in both chambers.

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees. I am not making this up.

The Minnesota assassinations, the attempted arson at Governor Shapiro's home, and the violent arrest of Senator Padilla are all straight out of the Jim Crow terrorism playbook. Same goes with cops aiming for journalists covering the ICE protests. None of these are new tactics, just a new iteration.

There's a cottage industry churning out articles about left-leaning "bubbles" and "echo chambers" but very little written about how numerous members of Congress live in a bubble of nonsense peddled by lobbyists and consultants. I have no doubt he was told this by a 20-something crypto lobbyist.

Despite video we all saw, @NBCNews is treating indisputable facts — that @AlexPadilla4CA did NOT burst into the room and DID ID himself — as debatable. So journalism is now where you’re not even allowed to say what you see with your own eyes?
